I've been taking Hindi classes with Ali for the past couple of years, and it's made such a difference for me. I grew up in Chennai, hearing little to no Hindi around me, and so really felt the need to learn the language when I moved to Mumbai for work. I was insecure in speaking Hindi but after classes with Ali at Zabaan, I've grown in confidence and have reached a stage where I'm able to have conversations, professional and personal, without worrying (like I used to) about how I sound or if I'm making mistakes. There's an ease I feel with the language now that's very freeing. Thanks Ali and Zabaan for teaching Hindi in a way that's accessible, fun and non-judgmental.

The experience at Zabaan was beyond expectations. The lessons were well structured and formatted for easy comprehension. Ms Rachayta, the instructor, approach was very systematic, professional and amiable. Her knowledge and proficiency in Hindi and English are impressive. I look forward to continuing my studies with this esteemed institution.

Teachers at Zabaan - our first teacher Riya Tyagi and Second teacher Ali Taqi are extra ordinary teachers. They know how to teach. For me before joining Zabaan Urdu script was the toughest. But the dedicated Zabaan teachers made it easy. Teaching, testing of our knowledge and giving home work everything was so fantastic. Never thought that one can learn the script within 5 classes and in 7.5 hours. What else? the course was free. Wish that with your guidance and my practice, very soon I would be able to read and write fluent Urdu. Thanks a lot. Dhanyavad. Shukriya.

Vartika
Vartika is a Hindi and Urdu language instructor. She was born and raised in Lucknow. She went on to pursue her degree in Political Science from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, DU. Having previously worked in the Public Policy sector, and being a politics enthusiast, the politicisation of the two languages (Hindi and Urdu) interests her. And being Lucknowi only makes her more passionate about deconstructing the nuances to bring out the differences and similarities between the two languages. Vartika started teaching at Zabaan in 2019.

Mohammed
Hi! I’m Dr Mohammed Dawood a PhD in Persian from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where I developed a strong foundation in Indo-Persian languages and literature. My academic journey includes a B.A., M.A., M.Phil, and PhD, all from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, where I honed my expertise in Persian language and literature. Over the years, I have cultivated a robust skill set for studying classical texts and have become proficient in reading Nas’ta’liq and various Persian manuscripts.
My teaching approach is clear and effective. I begin by understanding my students’ goals and the time they can commit to learning Persian. This allows me to tailor courses specifically to their needs. Once students grasp the basics and recognize letters, I assess their reading and writing skills while diligently addressing any errors from day one.
With experience as a teacher at Mumbai University in the Persian Department and at the American Institute for Indian Studies (AIIS) in Lucknow, I am well-equipped to guide students on their journey to mastering the Persian language.
